I Have No Respect For Floyd Mayweather: UFC Legend Anderson Silva Has A Message For Boxing Champ Floyd Mayweather!
 

In a box tthough, $ would fuck this nigga up. Fuck silva.

lmao you think floyd could reach him?

silva > mayweather

money is a faggot

money may would get his ass beat down rofl

Boxing rules may weather would win.

This is not an argument.

Money=greatest boxing technician all time. But he's too small to throw hands with the Spider tbh.

Pancakebrah took the words out my mouth

Oats I thought you were smart

Anderson does his thing Floyd does his. Both are winding down in their careers I'm not going to be a nerd n speculate who'd win in a fight but tell u this. Give me 6 months training and I'd beat both of them up.

So instead be the nerd who says he can whoop both of them. Yea.

not saying he's a better boxer - I don't think anybody is. But Mayweather's heaviest fights have been at 154. Silva has to cut down to 185. That's a huge weight disparity for anyone to overcome.

Oh please Oats. Mike Tyson was bodying people who weighed 50 more lbs than him and taller. Exit thread.

in a boxing ring mayweather would win but he's still a fag

when jon jones trained at the gym I went to he used to get clowned straight boxing by this midtier dude willy monroe jr

it's a different beast

I don't even know what the catchweight would be. Silva has fought at 170 before, that would have to be it. Still don't see Mayweather winning though, come fight time Silva would be back around 185, and Floyd would be a bloated 168ish. Myself and Mexico both love Mayweather, but the size gap will outweigh the technical gap imo.

did you seriously just compare the philly shell loving, rope a dope, pitter pat style of floyd to iron mike?

@Aero can't compare Mayweather and Tyson, completely different styles. Mayweather is all defense, Tyson is all offense and aggression. Plus Tyson was dominating cans for a huge chunk of his career. Plus the difference between 220 and 270 isn't as significant as the difference between 140 and 190 (which is essentially the weight gap between Mayweather and Silva). KO power etc. Yeah, not an appropriate analogy at all.
@Knucklehead Silva has had pro boxing matches and has sound, crisp boxing technique. Jones is a converted wrestler who's a freak athlete. Again, not an appropriate analogy.

when you have Jiu Jitsu my friend.... Size does not matter my friend. Silva is a fighter, Mayweather is a Boxer. Yes, MMA has rules... but it's a far less sanctioned fight. Boxing is just like Submission Grappling, a sport, with rules... That to me is far less entertaining than MMA, or grappling for that matter.

cool thanks @Xnub we're discussing these two in a boxing match.

it can't be compared... The conversation is void.

If bizarro Silva somehow was convinced to put on BOXING gloves, so he could no longer get through Moneys gaurd.... Good fucking luck out boxing that little midget. It's not going to happen, he'll duck/dodge for 12 rounds, jabbing you to death.. and catching you when you get tired or make mistakes. I doubt even Silva could keep up with Mayweathers pace or cardio... He can go hard for 12 rounds... and Silva wouldn't be used to that.

If Silva could wear MMA gloves, and still had to go by boxing rules... His reach/power would win him the fight, hands down... No argument. /end thread....

Who the fuck cares.

Godam it I hate What ifs

In a fight.

Silva has the reach advantage. .fuckimg may weather would have to jump
At him to even swiff a punch by his vicinity.
On top of that mayweather doesn't have the power to hurt silva.

Mayweather has no chance on either ring...godam it

Floyd is a boxer...silva is a fighter...ans has enough hand skill
To stay with maywaether.

That's it right there...silva can hang with may in the boxing ring.

May cant hang with silva in a mma ring.

word.

silva would look like a retard in a boxing ring with MONEY

you guys are delusional as fuck

mma striking is a completely different world. the dudes silva is punching in the face, aren't just worried about his hands. theyre worried about his knees, feet, elbows, everything

silva has reach but i would bet my entire life on it he wouldnt land anything clean. money would bounce in and out of range. eating the body. pitter pattering his head

if they boxed with infinite rounds he would kill silva. literally beat him to death if all they could do was box.

with 12 rounds money would just win the most lopsided fight of all time.

in an mma ring?

silva would kill him in about 7 seconds

I wanna see a street fight with them.

Fuck all this ring pussy shit.

No ring in life?

Life is about retaining knowledge and using it.

There was no rules in war... " oh you can't kick that man, he only trains boxing, sorry must punch only "

Who would wanna see that shit anyways?

Bare knuckle anything goes.

Silva would eat his soul

yea in an actual fight silva would clinch murder the life from him

Boxing only, I can guarantee Silva would still win. Money weighs like 90 lbs, Silva would let him punch him in the face and laugh

silva can take a punch, money may give one but silva can take one

silva would eat money alive

What ifs are the backbone of being a fan of sports lol

Y'all need to train a bit to understand the difference that size and technique make. When technique is within range, size/athleticism wins all day

i am a professional EVERYTHING

Fasho. Hit me with those recordings ya fuck

silva can sorta take a punch. he doesnt have an iron chin, he is just quick and efficient in his movements in mma fights against people his size or bigger. its very hard to land clean on silva. but he is fighting dudes his size or bigger.

mayweather is much smaller, and much faster. silva is not a boxer. his boxing would be terrible in an actual boxing match. reach means alot when facing another BOXER. silva is not a boxer

silva would have to take 204 punches. landed. thats giving him the benefit of the doubt that he is as skilled at avoiding mayweathers punches as the average of all of mayweathers previous opponents. he throws 456 per 12 round fight. 204 land

he is statistically the most efficient boxer at punching people and not being punched (only 17 percent of his opponents punches "land". they land the same way dudes land strikes on silva. grazing. ineffective.)

silva can have all the range in the world, his footwork would be trash, he wouldnt be able to hit mayweather, and mayweather would pick in at him. silva would gas much sooner etc

if you really think silva stands any chance you are delusional. he would have to literally get a lucky shot.

This is embarrassing. And the only ones with any solid reasoning here is @oats. Although he may not have expanded on anything he said. @PancakeBrah , I agree with.

Floyd Mayweather is the epitome of a defensive genius. His footwork is bar-none, his speed and stamina, as well. He is a genius in the boxing ring. And when I say a genius, I'm not exaggerating or saying that just for the sake of it. He is a genius INSIDE the boxing ring. Outside it, not so much. And although the weight difference would be a crucial difference. I still see Mayweather winning at a reasonable catchweights (I've seen him spar [not in person] guys 175-185, preparing for a fight [mainly heavy hitting Miguel Cotto and DLH]) And let's say it wasn't a difference, because there's no way that Maywather would catchweight at 170, nor would silva (In my opinion).
@Aero I really hope you were joking that you'd beat any of them. You do online battles and still get stomped on, and come off as uniformly arrogant and cocky in your abilities (which is fine). But these gentlemen, THIS is their craft. You can train for a year and wouldn't come close.

Not only do I box, but I do it religiously, as well as writing. And I have met F.M, and I've seen Silva spar. Silva spars in the same gym that Pacquiao does. He does have boxing knowledge, and even boxed pro for a bit. Wasn't amazing, and I think he has a few defeats under his belt. I'm glad MMA was his thing because he is absolutely amazing to watch, as well as FM; IF you enjoy all aspects of hand to hand combat. (FMM has a "unpopular" style, which to me just shows the ignorance of these "boxing fans")

But let's say they both were 165. Without weight being a factor, or affecting them, (in any way!). Floyd would embarrass him. Hands down, (literally). When you recognize the level of training these guys are at, you wouldn't even compare yourself to them. I run 6 miles a day everyday and have a similar regimen as FMM. But I still recognize him as a better and more conditioned athlete ...by a pretty wide margin. That is his job. His life. Not ashamed of admitting that at all. Silva is also a spectacular athlete, but when you get down to the technicality of it, factor intangibles; how elevated these athletes are, ESPECIALLY and primarily fighters. You sort of respect it. But then again, you guys do have your opinions. But this isn't really an opinion. I know it would happen.

And in the MMA ring it's different. It's like saying a rugby player would get owned playing football, and vice versa.

Silva is an elite athlete.

Mayweather is in a league of his own. Cocky, arrogant. But, one of the greats.

Agreed @Darth Yoda. I don't think anyone is a better boxer than Floyd. I'm a pretty avid fan of boxing and MMA, and have boxed for almost a decade now. As a hobby, of course. There's no question in my mind that, everything else being equal, Floyd would lace Anderson. But all else isn't equal, and Silva's size and power are difference makers to me. Not saying Anderson would win easily or anything, but Silva is good enough at boxing IMO to utilize his physical advantages. Obviously will never happen, but it's interesting to think about.

Good point about ring vs. cage too, but silva fought the majority of his career in a ring, and it serves his skillset better than the cage.

Darth I don't get stomped in any venue. 6 months training I'd knock both of these athletes out. Wouldn't be close. If I fought either now they'd def beat me in a decision.

Don't speak at me,

rawn'd

I like aero but there's no doubt in my mind I'd beat The shit out of him in a fight.

silva would murder floyd easy

silva would just be taunting floyd the whole match then tag him left and right
